"All the real entrepreneurs are studying computer science, because that's where the new game-changers are being born..."

When you look at the innovations fundamentally changing how we learn, work and play, they are all coming out of Computer Science. When you look at the world's leading companies, more and more of them have their starts with Computer Science majors at the helm.

To some, it's surprising. But, it makes perfect sense. Part math, part engineering, Computer Science is 100% problem solving. And as a computer science major at Lewis University, you will acquire both the technical skills and problem solving strategies necessary for a wildly successful career, through a cutting-edge curriculum in which you will learn:

How computer systems work and process information

Programming languages, techniques and applications for a variety of platforms, including mobile and cloud solutions

How to implement artificial intelligence in applications to make software users more productive

Network and database design, security and implementation

Problem-solving algorithm design

Data mining and forensics

How technology provides solutions for everyday life

One of Princeton Review's Top 50 Undergraduate Schools to Study Video Game Design

Video Game Development
What's more rewarding than beating a video game? Creating them. Learn to create 2D and 3D environments, stunning graphics, visual effects and reactive gameplay on a variety of platforms.

Distributed and Mobile Computing Technologies
As we enter the era of ubiquitous computing, you will learn how to create applications and software architecture that can efficiently deal with large quantities of data, in a distributed manner, and with unrivaled accessibility.

Simulation of Scientific Systems
Learn to help scientists test smarter, by creating realistic system models before they commit to expensive lab resources.

Computer Science, B.A.
The Computer Science, B.A. degree provides an alternative for some students, requiring fewer credit hours, particularly in mathematics. Some employers and graduate schools prefer the Bachelor of Science degree to the Bachelor of Arts, but certainly not all.

5-Year B.S. to MSIS Fast-Track
For well-qualified students interested in Information Security, we offer a MSIS fast-track program, which enables you to earn both your Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and your Master of Science in Information Security in only five years.
